ACCOMMODATION

The Conference Secretariat does not organise accommodation for participants. However we will inform you about special rates for delegates as they come from hotels.

Participants are invited to book their room directly with the hotel. All participants should make sure to reserve their room as soon as possible due to the fact that September is still tourist season in Pontevedra and many hotels can be fully booked.

Useful information (accommodation and booking online, where to eat, sites of interest, etc.) is available at the Pontevedra Tourism Website
